Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 6, § 2903

Unless the handler has paid the claim upon which the lien is founded, he or she shall not, after receipt of written notice of a producer’s lien, mortgage or otherwise convey any property upon which a producer’s lien is claimed without disclosing in writing such lien to the vendee or mortgagee or stating the existence of it in the instrument conveying or mortgaging the property. If a handler fails so to disclose a producer’s lien, he or she shall be liable to any person thereby injured in an action on this statute for the damages sustained.
